S I was walking down Fifth Avenue, New York City. in the year 1957, I met an old friend of mine, Elisabeth Anderson. Elisabeth informed me that she had been very busy selling advertisements for the Sweetheart Soap Corp. As we talked, we began reminiscing and won- dering what had become of our classmates. VVe hunted up a fortune teller and as we gazed into her crystal ball each one of our classmates came in view. We were taken to a 'broadcasting studio where Laurence Fulkerson was displaying his golden voice. We learned that he had gained world-wide renown as radio's second Nelson Eddy. Following that, we heard the well-known jazz band, Ned Brown and his Hotsy-Totsys' playing from the Waldorf-Castoria Hotel in Pittsburgh. A newspaper office loomed in the foreground and lo! who was entering? Justin Northup, the owner if you please! Warren Elam, the editor of Mr. Northup's paper, The New York lfVvvkly, was with him. Warren and Justin's society editor was Miss Mary Jean Townsley while Gwendolyn Bailey's column Can It Be True threatened to put Ripley and all the others out of business. We were then taken by our mysterious host to the laboratories of one of the large universi- ties in the Middle Wes-t and whom should we see as the dignified professor of psychology but Neil Hartman. From there, we went to the district attorney's office in Columbus, and who should be there but Reynold Huffman. We weren't surprised to discover that Charles Jones had become one of America's foremost piano movers, after much practice at heaving the shot in his high school days. Next Donald Sipe, a Hoorwalker in an elevator, was having his ups and downs. A loud commotion was heard outside and we rushed to the scene of action. We were aston- ished to see our old friend Irma lfVakely, stand- ing on a soap-box preaching for the Salvation Army. After we had recovered from that shock we went back to try to hnd the rest of our old classmates. VVe were transferred to London, England, where we confronted Doris Ramsey and Dorothy Kennon busy designing the corona- tion costume for Princess Elizabeth. Dorothy Galloway, the Emily Post of today, accompanied these two well-known designers to England, and was working hard, making out the rules of etiquette for the next coronation. A quick change was made and the bright lights of a night club revealed our old friends Harold Bartley, Frances Kersey, and Roger Gasho Calias The Kerasho Dance Team J were tripping a light, fantastic tango to the music of Clark Post's Melody Makers with Louise Jacobs at the piano. The Greene County Fair Hashed into view and we saw John Fudge, who had entered his famous Chocolate Fudge which is known all over Greene County. By his side Marie Col- lins, his very efficient helper, having a difficult task trying to keep John out of the Fudge Next we were taken to a farm near Cedarville where we found Leroy Shaw, well-known for his Sweet Gooseberries and Pitless Cherries. We were shocked beyond words to find that Robert Dobbins has become one of the famous gigolos of gay Paree. Our next classmate to appear was William Burnett who is just finish- ing reading Gone With the Wind, the best seller of 1937. We saw Ray Klontz, the leading barker for Dr. Nervine's Medicine Show. ln the well-known Woolworth's five and ten, Char- lotte Turner was seen frantically dishing out pots and pans by the dozen to her customers. John Hawkins was the fioorwalker in this organization. We were then transferred to Ellis Isle where we observed Elizabeth Funsett and Betty Rowe teaching Oscar Everhart, Junia Creswell and Marjorie Hartman how to speak English after their long sojourn in Europe where they acquired a foreign accent. Enid Hickman was also in Europe, but after playing her harp be- fore millions of people, she is still searching vainly for the millionaire of her dreams. Eu- gene Miller secretly left for Germany where he was going to aid the Kaiser regain his lost empire. John McCallister seemed to be enjoying himself immensely in Hawaii with his chief hobby-collecting grass skirts, Ah! The scene changed again and we behold William Aiken, drawing the blueprints for an even greater building than the Empire State Building. Harold Hanna, the retired Olympic star, was seen visiting the former scene of action wi-th his modest wife, the former Alberta Smith, signing all the autographs. The scene changed again to an exclusive shop on Fifth Avenue where we saw Betty Nelson, the pro- prietor of the shop, Mary Edith Gray, her lead- ing model, was displaying the latest creation in bathing suits. We were astounded to discover Juanita Har- per the air stewardess on the Union-Pacific Air- line administering lemons and smelling salts to the poor victims of air sickness. A quick change of scene was made and we saw both Rita Struewing and Virginia Swaney in the ofiice of the General Motors Corp., Dayton, Ohio. A traveler was seen in the globe, it was Alice Pullin, our old pal who had always longed to go places and see things. Martha Jane Martindale, the supervisor of nurses in Johns Hopkins Hos- pital then appeared in view. We next en- countered Arno Pickard of St. Louis, Missouri, a noted dancing teacher, who was dancing her way to Hollywood. Speaking of Hollywood, Doris Truesdale and Eula Grindle were seen there fbeautifying the movie stars of today. We weren't surprised to find Ruth Johnston a licensed undertaker with the McMillan-Johns- ton Funeral Home of Cedarville. When she whizzed back into Cedarville, business increased 50 per cent. We were taken to a farm near Cedarville, and whom should we find to be mistress of the house, but the former Frances Williamson. Marvie West was certainly mak- ing a hit with the livestock in Greene County as he was said to be the best veterinarian in the country. VVe were astounded to find that Dorothy fC011ffP1MCd on page 813 A Glance Into the Future Page 65
